or do i choose to spend not billion euro in fixing the leaks i'm building a new one for structure. despite the water having been paid through general taxation. no tax exemptions were plans to offset the new charges. forcing one of the major. threats of paying for water twice led most citizens to regard the introduction of meat as an challenges as another austerity measure and the establishment of irish water is the first step towards privatisation. mr ferguson down with the minister tusk by the government with setting up the new company. clearly didn't work out quite as we expected. it was never on the agenda from my perspective that it could would or should ever be sold

or privatized while i was discussing this matter with my officials at the time i insisted that the legislation would have to include three point one the legislation was handed to me before it went into the parliament it wasn't in it. was real. central office and i have that says of course we all know privatisation is ultimately envisaged. and then there was a letter from disinterested just example saying you're stuck you can say that would you please take these words out of the report. so then the report came back four years out towards.

so some officials do not. fully understand or do not fully accept the principle of football being beyond politics that's a fundamental principle of the world for both. it was read that some people may have opinions but it's their own opinions and doesn't influence opinions of many other full fans free will or somebody tickets every day in large volumes. what politicians do. they put themselves on a lot to get accepted or rejected. so would you want to be president and. somehow want to. have to try to be for us this is what before three of them all

can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters and how. things should. the united states can instead of. it's news and it's a tax on other country's. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military pressure on the country music you're talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country because. we have a responsibility for the whole. and we need to make rules for the most of.

those without us there will be. troops seemed wrong but all roads just don't hold. any new poll that is yet to shape out this day to come to educate and gain from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. yes. the decision has already been made and everything is ready for the big day. following the examples of berlin and italy the people of thessaloniki will be

called upon to say through a non-binding referendum whether they want the water company to be privatized as planned by the government. suddenly however on the eve of the ballot there's a problem. she. said it was there for thirty years or. they see fit and only see it not at least they can not put the arms into the school and the people who are making a little bit of this. interior minister younis make a lock it's in a circular sent out to old municipalities declared the referendum illegal and then it got to topeka mccallum it will not have six in the christmas numbers a lot of the governorship but you must go to going to get my police feet of course fish you can go to them some of it is.

late. but apples are there to cope with as much about this case is to say office i don't need but i've been up officer to somebody needs to be good at this timothy not of the house an estate is supposed to be given still if he has a couple. the next few days to close the b.b.c.'s even if he's bought a main bus if you tickle b.c. to put the wrong also of the name on your place to put up some with a lot of water. french

president emanuel micron's is on an official trip to west and. is accompanied by forty french businessmen each with an interest in the greek privatization program. today they'll have the opportunity to directly question prime minister alexis to press. among them as sean louise shows up the sewage c.e.o. is company has its eye on greece's water companies. many pot of hell of. a lot from us you guys you've got a book. by ben this is. a bit more you know the left. little flat most focused on you know. he did it look easy. so it was

a must. be is that. if you have. a. good week at least and. it. does not stop it does not mean. it's. going to end. the country is now obliged to transfer all state owned assets to the super fund. a new anonymous company with a life expectancy of ninety nine years this management board will also consist of representatives of lend us. the water companies are among those assets but the government still promises they will not be privatized. so they need to go to pick up these things up ok it show you may go straight to bed the same as there is a good b.c. he adds i don't like and go to some extent but only get upset at the pot yet if i

see both the state i may see that i did the better they see sniffing in at least a piece that. crosses from a loss who took part in the thessaloniki water movement became the alternative minister for the environment and was put in charge of water management following the state council's decision he's trying to salvage at least fifty one percent. of the if it was in the midst of the most oil and. good luck with the going to get this built the sooner we get the tube in there it's a go the government with. it was just over what i mean this is it since that was going to produce but what it was as it's what ickes the pit that its.

in twenty fifteen and as became minister of the environment portugal's newly formed left wing government after the twenty fifteen elections was a policy change soon enough to. let a small deal of them to the vs the believe it's that they meant that yeah it does in this movie see bruce good day. at the vows. bash. that. no city feed. me but this is the view we see the vamps. unfortunately the government has washed its hands of these cases according to portugal's constitution municipalities are autonomous and the state is forbidden to intervene. to improve well those who vote on d.s. bossiest c.d.o. but if it is out it will lead by force most into. that i can veto

mundo us malva us all to the real cull if he so she had already the it to the divorce place for you minerals. the key is to kick you boil it if you know says look i etc. marcello some passes to farah have to get by on their own. mr gomes knows he has no choice he is bound to pay a huge amount of compensation one hundred seventy two million euros will go to the private water company because the bottom has been a superlative fail to reach the envisaged population and water consumption targets . the municipality also realised it had lost all technical know how regarding water

management. going today or the shelves in d.s. the kids you invite board the board. so mr gomez decided to negotiate with the company was she so maybe. starship was awful doubtful to satisfy were actual work it was out of fact known by start to get that for. themselves the two versions. home with vs one without is no. physical. zied and no suspect that you've. implemented leave it to you if they just say again what a blackout. passes different era but the most expensive water in portugal did not appeal to the courts. on berto brito seeing barcelona's troubles realized that the

game was lost and try to negotiate with the company. you know seems mused it appeared to me as well look mr you can lucas and cooper to you this if you see the newer of the past freedom at that he for the. bison was going to see. every of you know whether. or not me oh my. activist against water charges often patrol this cork neighborhood. you know if they find an irish water crew installing meters they try to force them to leave. and we say no why do you need me know everybody knows that nothing is set in stone

yet. the commission keeps pushing islands to comply with the community directive and impose meters and water charges on its citizens. and there is this principle which is. framed in the water directive that the value to those should be sought there should be a direct responsibility of this cannot be done with a general exception obviously next friday we meet same time. we'll do that. but it won't happen we don't that don't we. faced with an precedented public disobedience the government is trying hard to maneuver between public discontent and the demands of brussels. what are trying to do you know in a small way they would say it has to happen because the european union told us it has to happen because detroit who told us that's what it helps but again tom

logical it's head very very quickly. because when the european commission after the different opinion something gets for example that apple corporation older citizens of this country talk to be taught in billion euro suddenly the ideology walks in the next and suddenly do new liberal say that the european commission it's only an opinion we're powered of europe but it doesn't it doesn't take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to how we tax how can do european commish take away our ability to make our own decisions in relation to water for an opinion of the very same body and the very same people alone has to be her own decisions in relation to given apple a thirteen billion year old gift. well all you have to do is look at puppets to explain those contradictions.

i. see. all of these situations and all of the peoples of europe need to start having an honest conversation with each other. was. missing plays the whole movement to defend. you people basically need to be named nice but the same with a. system that when they're trying the west and i mean throw it in out of the government go into the mind of the fianna i wouldn't have to approached. was. going to come into shores to do are so many players on a company to to sell.

beer shite decent people qatif. cross europe people are saying you know. enough is enough. can we have our social europe fuck. yes. whatever this song all these. are you. know why. who voted no. to the. different suite of function. as well.

have you ever known a hero well here you'll meet one also what is the future of the transatlantic alliance and the era of trump and the prehistory of the next war in the middle east . in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to put the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know we hear i mean you know i was put video through me in the new bill is that i'm spoiling you to the ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty forty and. those who took. it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.

politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be. the two going to be first this is what will befall three of the boys can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should.

tensions flare. controversial. with mass protests. before the world. project.

but. in the wrong. way from. joining. yes from around the world this hour welcome to moscow and to r.t. international my names you know neal good to have your company or top story and we begin with out breaking news from dallas where health officials there say thirty seven people have been killed by israeli defense forces while rolling along the border the youngest was reportedly fourteen protests erupted across the arctic when

it was over the united states in the city. its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem which is right now officially opening you're looking at live pictures within. its own fools in the audience right there are donald trump's daughter a fine care her husband. both are white house aides there they are right now as well as treasury secretary steven can. a lot of tweeting about this from his really official saying what a great day for israel but of course there's been a lot of opposition to this move from the global community not to mention the palestinians who have been in force all day. but we have got reporters covering developments across the region first we can go to our tease middle east correspondent paul this leader who's our it side that's

building the new u.s. embassy in. paul it's all going on there we just saw some pictures of the opening ceremony what do we expect what is happening there today. and i'm standing just in front of the new science of the american embassy and as you can well imagine the atmosphere is that any historic event is taking place but where i'm standing too there are mixed reactions we have protesters who have gathered in front of the embassy and tromp they shouting slogans and holding up posters calling. on trying to resign and criticizing the occupation at the same time that many israelis have turned out here to show their support for what they say is a long overdue event now the american president although earlier thought they was speculation that he could be here for the ceremony he has not arrived he is saying to as you mentioned his daughter event and her husband jared both high ranking white house advisers at the same time there was the treasury secretary here and

a number of members of the american congress at an event yesterday marking this occasion invitations with same tower to all eighty six diplomatic missions in israel but only fifty three responded positively included among them were the missions of paraguayan and guatemala both of whom are expected to move their embassies to jerusalem later this month they're also representatives from bulgaria hungary romania and the czech republic but very important there were no representatives attending from western countries belonging to the european union so that surely shows a growing rift within the european bloc now the americans have been putting a lot of pressure on countries to sign up and approve this move although there is a lot of resistance internationally to it we have seen the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley resorting to duty tactics and writing a threatening letter. to consider the vote i want you to know the

president and the u.s. take this vote personally he will be watching this vote carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration. as part of the international reaction the turkish president added one has said that this move clearly shows that the united states has chosen to be part of the problem and not part of the solution and that the united states has lost its mediating role in the peace process now this comes as we continue to receive rising casualty figures the latest figures we have a more than fifty people who have been killed in clashes on the gaza border and also in various palestinian cities throughout the west bank we are hearing about hundreds of people who have been injured and this comes as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu himself says that more embassies ironically should move to jerusalem as this would bring about peace but certainly the figures and the actions on the ground don't allude to this take a listen move you around this is to do assume because it's the right thing to do

move you in this is to do because it at variance is. security here in jerusalem as you can well imagine is tense there are reinforcements right around the embassy where i'm standing keeping people away at the same time more questions are being aust if the current violence that we're witnessing is a response to the embassy move well then just how exactly does the american president try to think that he is going to cut his he has said the deal of the century between israelis and palestinians. policy or bring us right up to date from . jerusalem where we've also got. journalist in ramallah we will try and

cross to him a little bit later and let's get a sense of flavor of inside the building from where paula was just speaking from a round of applause there obviously some. some speeches going on there you have a lot of is really dignitaries right now as the u.s. opens its embassy in jerusalem also there you can see bibi netanyahu obviously in the crowd there as well the israeli prime minister. yet this is the scene right now. a little bit earlier in the day what was going on. we seeing a lot of plumes of smoke going up tires being burned medics coming out of one of the reports said earlier one of the medics was in fact killed coming out to try to help somebody who was killed by us really sniper bullets live ammunition being used right throughout the morning leading to thirty seven people being killed

so these are the scenes some of the latest pictures right now which is seeing the worst violence in four years since the israeli war broke out in july we're keeping a very close eye on what's happening in. right throughout the day we'll return to there with more live pictures if we can get them later in the program. all right well both sides of long held claims over the ancient city of jerusalem briefly look at the box. on what's next after washington's embassy. jerusalem is a city that's been a point of contention for nearly a thousand years ever since the first crusaders arrived to drive the muslim population away for nearly two centuries the area was governed by christian congress under the name of kingdom of jerusalem but the end of the thirteenth

century crusades. under muslim control with so much turbulent religious history today the area holds significance for christians. jews and muslims alike regard different parts of the old city to be their holy sites and since the formation of the state of israel in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight israel considers jerusalem to be its capital the subsequent conflict with the arab neighbors so israel captured and annex the entire city of jerusalem the move has never been recognized by the united nations stands firm on the idea of establishing the two state solution where israel and palestine exist independently so by president trump announcing moving the embassy to jerusalem he's on the line that the u.s. recognizes the holy city to be the capital of israel for the international community that goes against the notion that any change in the city status should come through negotiations and not a unilateral action as of now out of eighty seven countries that have embassies in

israel the u.s. will be the only country to base its facility in jerusalem. ok let's not go to live pictures we just got them in on the program. where that violence has been erupting right through the day let's see what's happening right now on not area between israel and. a lot of smoke there are these are facts not the live pictures or latest pictures coming in a little bit of difficulty getting a life feed as you can imagine from the situation which is unfolding there at the moment thirty seven people the latest figures from the. health ministry saying thirty seven people have lost their lives over a thousand people injured seventeen hundred people wounded this monday making it the deadliest day in the israel palestinian conflict since the war in twenty. there's a local journalist on the ground for us there. let's listen.
